The Legend-News

The News And Only The News
I've received a few messages from members of the Other Wild Places (OWP) mailing list who are not happy members. When they subscribed to the OWP list, they didn't realize that
The Legend-News
was not the only mail that they'd be receiving. They would prefer not to receive the other messages that are posted to the list. So I've waved my magic mouse and created a new mailing list just for
The Legend-News.

This new list, LegendNews, is an announcement-only list. The only messages that will ever appear on it are the regular -- or irregular -- issues of
The Legend-News. There will be no idle chit-chat, over-quoted replies (you know who you are) or deep thoughts (except for mine :).

Please note that you do
not
need to subscribe to both lists!
The Legend-News
will continue to be published on the Other Wild Places list, together with the usual daily filler. :) Subscribe to LegendNews if all that you want to read is
The Legend-News, and you don't want to participate in any C.W. McCall-related discussions.

As always, TechRen Enterprises offers its famous money-back guarantee: if you don't like what you get, we guarantee that there's absolutely no way that you'll ever get your money back.

Convoy 2000
There is now a first draft of the itinerary for
Convoy 2000. The basic route:

The Museum of C.W. McCall and Other Wild Places
The first exhibit has been added to
the Museum: it's the "Midland CB Convoy Kit", an 8-page booklet that accompanied my Midland CB model 13-882C.

Yeah, I know that I said it would be on display by last Wednesday; but, as usual, life intefered with my hobby. However, I am taking this week off from the day job, and I will get the Museum up and running with a few more additions.

Later this week: the owner's guide and a bunch of FCC forms.

All Digital, All The Time
Still looking for some free truckin' music? Go to
Edmonton's CB Radio Museum. The site's a bit sparse on real information -- the blank pages tell the tale -- but the CB Radio Jukebox has 41 CB/truck tunes that you can download, including two cover versions of the C.W. McCall songs "Wolf Creek Pass" and "Convoy".

If you want to listen to some streaming audio, and you've got a copy of RealPlayer, check out Matt Bowerman's
Trucks and Pirates, one of the stations at
Live365.com. Matt's got an interesting combination of truck songs and pirates songs. I'm not sure if the Teamsters care for the implied association, but nevertheless it's good listening.

Through a Usenet news article I discovered
ClassiCountry.Com, a new site that aims to be an information site for country music artists. One of the
stars that they intend to cover
is, of course, our favorite poet/singer C.W. McCall. There's no C.W. news or information over there yet, but they've got their own
iCCC Radio, which is currently running its first playlist. No, there's no C.W. on there, but maybe if you ask nicely... Like "Trucks and Pirates", iCCC Radio is a station hosted by
Live365.com.
